"Τhe girl from Corfu"

 
   Corfu had been always a favourite shooting location for many films. Among them, a 1956 comedy film, starring Rena Vlachopoulou and directed by Yiannis Petroulakis named "The girl from Corfu" (original greek title "Πρωτευουσιάνικες περιπέτειες").
    It is about a corfiot girl whose uncle invite her to live with him in Athens, teach her good manners and become part of the athenian high society. The film was shot in Corfu and Athens and it had been the very first colour greek film. It was entered into the 7th Berlin International Film festival.


You can watch the full film below.

Some photos from my recent Athens trip

  Most of the images below were taken in coastal Athens areas, like Neo Faliro, Alimos and Glyfada. You see, during the hot athenian summer afternoons, having a walk at the coastal zone of the capital is much prefered than spending your time in the centre, 7 kilometres inland.

Ace Ventura @ Shadow, Athens - 24/01/09

Last week, I was in Athens, staying at a friend's house. There was a progressive trance party at Psirri (Israeli producer Ace Ventura played) so we decided to go. The club was full of people and the music was so loud that my ear were humming for a whole day after the party. Overall, me and my friends had a great time and hear descent prog trance.
